5:39 pm
like anybody else. >> reporter: 5 year ago, he was for civil unions but not gay marriage. now with society turning and the poll numbers have should be that, do you think he's sincere or bloat wind? >> that's forward for me to answer, because i do see him as sometimes caving in at the last minute to gain support. if that's what it takes for us, i'm all for it, but i'd rather he just took a stand. >> reporter: you can file a friend of the court brief yourself. but because it's the president, it does carry weight. those who want prop 8 to be upheld think the president should be concerned about other things and not give his opinion on this matter. more now on the earthquake we told you about a couple minutes ago, a 3.2 magnitude in
